We appear to in agreement, neither of us knows the answer. Here is your
shot at a mundane sort of questions:
The Boca BB1008 card is supported and reports 8 serial ports from com2
on. Logic says these ports should be the normal tty02 through tty09.
Do the major and minor numbers in /dev/MAKEDEV create the correct
devices for the Boca board?
